## Resource

The Fed just raised rates for the first time in three years—right when everyday costs are soaring and wallets are feeling the strain. Inflation isn’t just demand-driven this time; global chaos and politics are fueling it, making things tougher for those on tighter budgets. Housing markets are cooling as loan payments climb, forcing buyers to rethink what’s affordable. If global pressures ease, rates might stabilize—but if they linger, more hikes could be coming.
